Annoying Security Prompts
How can Claude file your taxes for you? And without hallucinations? Seems dangerous tbh
Someone invented a system that makes it trivial for bottom feeding lawyer types to send frivolous notices. They feel like they've accomplished something.

That's the long and short of it. It suddenly became trivial to do and the consequences won't be apparent for quite some time, so there are no consequences as far as the lawyers and accountants are concerned.
Not very small; most corporate non-Windows development uses containers, I'd bet on the ratio above 90%.

Not that developers want remote-first experience, but they face it. Containers in this regard behave like remote systems, even when run locally. A tool that helps juggle multiple remote contexts in a sane way may be very helpful. Say, tmux does a lot to help, but more is of course possible.
Honestly, I think it's nothing special to say that certain technologies have an end point.

We had lots of advancements in single core CPUs but eventually more than that was necessary, now the same is happening with monolithic chips vs chiplet designs.

Same for something like HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 and now HTTP/3.

Same for traditional rendering vs something like raytracing and other approaches.

I assume it's the same for typical spell checking and writing assistants vs LLM based ones.

That it's the same for typical autocomplete solutions vs LLM based ones.

It does seem that there weren't former technological solutions for images/animations/models etc. (maybe the likes of Mixamo and animation retargeting, but not much for replacing a concept artist for shops that can't afford one).

Each technology, including the various forms of AI have their limitations, with the exception of how much money has been spent on training the likes of models behind ChatGPT etc. Nothing wrong with that, I'll use LLMs what they're good for and look for something else once new technologies become available.
What I've found helps me with hobby jumping or not completing tasks/practicing/etc. is to not talk about it. If I'm going to do a task or work on a hobby the act of saying I'm going to do something triggers the same dopamine reward as actually doing the thing. Instead I try to only talk about things that are already done in order to hold myself a little bit more accountable for actually working on stuff.

We asked our investors and they said you're very excited about it being less good, which is great news for you ;D
It is funny that you reply to a diatribe about not attaching yourself to labels to come across as very defensive of the label you've given yourself. My whole point is we're not anything, you're not an introvert is my point.
> Only once you have exhausted all the options for expressing the concept in code, then, only then, are you allowed to add the line of the documentation regarding it.

But that's what people are talking about when talking about comments. The assumption is that the code is organized and named well already.

The real world of complexity is way beyond the expressiveness of code, unless you want function names like:

prorateTheCurrentDaysPartialFactoryReceiptsToYesterdaysStateOfSalesOrderAllocationsInTheSamePrioritySequenceThatDrivesFinancialReportingOfOwnedInventoryByBusinessUnit()

The code that performs this function is relatively simple, but the multiple concepts involved in the WHY and HOW are much less obvious.
If your employees actually believe this spin that’s a big stretch especially the behavior of the CEO and the board being dissolved recently … I was a employee at a large company and I could see when the CEO was actually taking a stand that meant something and wasn’t some type of action trying to mislead employees .
TLDR spacing out the time when you are asked to recall things helps you remember (recall) them better. There’s an app called supermemo to help with this.

Since the article’s from 2008, you may be wondering what happened to this software, so supermemo is available on the App Store, but is focused on language and not incredibly popular, there’s also a desktop version for windows 10. Anki decks offer the same spaced repetition learning as well and seem to have become more popular so may serve as a replacement.

IMO it is sad that the sort of… anti-establishment side of tech has suddenly become very worried about copyright. Bits inherently can be copied for free (or at least very cheap), copyright is a way to induce scarcity for the market to exploit where there isn’t any on a technical level.

Currently the AI stuff kind of sucks because you have to be a giant corp to train a model. But maybe in a decade, users will be able to train their own models or at least fine-tune on basic cellphone and laptop (not dgpu) chips.
I just imagine the world in which the industry defined by deterministic nature and facts has the bravery to call spade a spade. LLM's have a function. Machine learning also. But calling LLM's Intelligence and pushing the hype to overdrive?
Yeah, it was a good choice. Aktau is surrounded by hundreds of kilometers of a really flat half-desert. Had they been able to land at even remotely correct orientation, they could have landed almost anywhere in that general area and would have likely been fine.
I don't think so. I'm not concerned about accuracy, but about understanding. If you ask a human expert a question, they might be wrong, but if you ask them why they gave you that answer they will be able to explain a trail of facts and assumptions that led them there.
A story from Import AI 395, inspired by many late night chats with Claude
For some. For others with fewer stars in their eyes, it was obvious from the beginning.
> would you let an LLM manage your financial affairs (entirely, unsupervised)?

No, but I also would not let another person do that.

It is telling that you needed to interject "entirely, unsupervised".

Most people will let an llm do it partially, and probably already do.

Lemme guess, you're another one of those Fortnite/COD teenagers who has a hardon for Andurial.
Don’t worry, 99.999% of the people here don’t know the first thing about how non profits work.

The for profit arm is legally mandated by the IRS, full stop. Nonprofits can’t just start a business and declare all the revenue tax free. Any “unrelated business income” must go through a tax paying entity. ChatGPT and the API are unrelated businesses and OpenAI has had this non/for profit split since 2019.

See for example the Mozilla Foundation. It owns the Mozilla Corporation which is paid by Google for default search engine placement and it pays the engineers working on the browser full time. The difference here is that the OpenAI forprofit is issuing shares to external shareholders in exchange for investment (just like any other company), while Mozilla keeps the corporation in its entirety.
Taken together, all of Trump's campaign rhetoric regarding immigration and imports adds up to economic and military sabotage.

The only hope we have as a country is that he was lying --- again.
Am I the only one who thinks the title is a clickbait?

The article doesn't even try to debunk the idea. All it does is say "induced demand exists, but it's somehow a good thing"
I absolutely agree for a variety of reasons, but should it not be equally as critical to mitigate factors that stand in the way of domestic STEM growth? All those STEM immigrants have to come live here, but when their children grow up in an environment that does not prioritize STEM, is the only solution more STEM immigration? There are some absolute benefits to STEM immigration into the US, like brain-draining competing nations, and establishing a STEM community with international connections for global stability. Benefits like that are of immense value, but it would also be valuable if more US residents were inspired to pursue STEM. Inspiration is more than just pursuit of STEM as a rewarding career. Inspiration should result in STEM workers who are innately interested in the field. It's a failure of the US that many interested in STEM cannot work in the field due to costly and superflous requirements, such as expensive education and publishing institutions, and the cost of living being so high as to prevent less privileged from meaningful advancement in STEM domains. While it's good that STEM is a means towards upward mobility for many, the pursuit of it has become gamified by interests complacent with its inaccessibility.
We have a number of folks who have switched from Bench, and as you can imagine there's enough volume here that it's worth building some bespoke stuff for this.

And yes, we can do 2024 catch-up work.

(waseem@pilot.com if folks have any specific questions)
The use of a LLM in this case is to show them where the problem is so that they can continue on. They can't develop an understanding of the algorithm they're studying if they can't get their program to compile at all.
Zig is actually trying to get rid of LLVM for default builds, though they intend to keep it as one of the "backends" for the forseeable future.

The problem is that LLVM is very slow (as it applies lots of optimisations) and heavy, and that makes a compiler slow even in debug mode.

D has 3 backends, LLVM is used by the LDC compiler. Then there's DMD which is the official compiler (and frontend for all three), and GDC which uses GCC backend. D code typically compiles quite a bit faster on DMD, but the code is more highly optimised with LLVM or GCC, of course. It's a great tradeoff specially since all compilers use the DMD frontend so it's almost guaranteeed that there's no differences in behaviour between them.
Why would they bother with that, when they have a perfectly usable constellation of space lasers?
> I'm getting a bit grey in the beard, but not quite there yet

fuck does this even mean
You can't own a non-profit. It doesn't have shares or shareholders. The article says they want the non-profit to own shares of the PBC.
The copyright question is inherently tied to the requirement to earn money from your labor in this economy. I think the anti-establishment folks are not so rabid that they can't recognize real material conditions.
They pretty much operate under a version of "They realized that to be in power, you didn't need guns or money or even numbers. You just needed the will to do what the other guy wouldn't"
I've unzipped Grayjay for Windows into a folder and is ready for use, and am trying to set up the "grayjay://" URI so that it opens Grayjay when a link is clicked on.

Namely, trying to add plugins to my Grayjay install via https://plugins.grayjay.app/, but my browser doesn't know how to handle links that have the "grayjay://" URI as a prefix.

Any help with this is welcomed. I'm also hoping that future releases will either be distributed as an executable installer that automagically takes care of this, or with a patch that can be applied to allow for true "OOTB" functionality without having to tweak/meddle with Windows settings/registry.

EDIT 1: Running Win 10

EDIT 2: Found a way within Grayjay to install plugins, but would like to still have this URI set up for future use.
There is a huge difference between being “principled” between 3x and 1x when you are going from 200K to 600K and when you are going from $50K to $150K.

Once you have “enough”, your personal marginal utility for money changes. Would you go from what you are making now to being an at home nurse taking care of special needs kids for $16/hour?
Does not seem like the source code is available?
I’ve never heard of it before. I work in an embedded environment where kernel version is known beforehand, so portability won’t be an issue. Thanks.
That's just the hardware, but AI as currently practiced is purely a software endeavor.
Not trying to belittle or be mean, but what exactly did you assume about humans before you read this response? I find it facinating that apparently a lot of people don't think of humans as stochastic, non-deterministic black boxes.

Heck one of the defining qualities of humans is that not only are we unpredictable and fundamentally unknowable to other intelligences (even other humans!) is that we also participate in sophisticated subterfuge and lying to manipulate other intelligences (even other humans!) and often very convincingly.

In fact, I would propose that our society is fundamentally defined and shaped by our ability and willingness to hide, deceive, and use mind tricks to get what our little monkey brains want over the next couple hours or days.
> None of us know for sure but I think the immediate threat of the drones is negligible. If US bases are leaking signals that can be intercepted by drones overhead then these same signals could be just as easily intercepted by cars driving past the bases or nearby homes. And as far as the visible spectrum is concerned all the major players have satellites overhead anyway.

You can also do radio frequency signals intercepts from space, too. You need a big antenna on your satellite, but it's essentially a solved problem. Spaceborne SIGINT goes back to at least the early 70s.
FYI, while that quote was popular to use online, it is sourced from the 2008 movie Tropic Thunder:

Agree. I think we are already seeing a hollowing out effect on tech hiring at the lower end. They’ve always been squeezed a bit, but it seems much worse now.
I cannot begin to comprehend how this was put together. Unbelievable amounts of dedication must have been involved.

People who like repeatable results in their work equipment are control freaks?
Find a piece of cheese pretty much anywhere in my home?

Or if we're comparing to a three year old, also find the dishwasher?

Closest I'm aware of is something by Boston Dynamics or Tesla, but neither would be as simple as asking it- wheres the dishwasher in my home?

And then if we compare it to a ten year old, find the woodstove in my home, tell me the temperature, and adjust the air intake appropriately.

And so on.

I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm saying there's no AI system that has this physical intelligence yet, because the robot technology isn't well developed/integrated yet.

For AI to be something more than a nerd it needs a body and I'm aware there are people working on it. Ironically, not the people claiming to be in search of AGI.
> You can't just say that you don't want to host any content that goes through a counter notice.

Why not? (at least legally speaking, it'd be a PR disaster I'm sure)

YouTube is not obligated to host any videos on their platform and US law allows for businesses to discriminate for almost any reason (except specific protected classes like race or sex).
China will absolutely call that bluff, as they have done for the past few decades.

The US quite simply does not have the clout to make China back down from anything.
”what are we going to do?”

The response to this event would probably be a good template for a standard policy each time infrastructure is damaged.

Special forces boarded the suspect ship and now it’s held.

What happens next is interesting.
I think a solid 95% of what people think are drones are actually passenger planes so I’m glad we’re not firing at them.
Losing potentially good talent because they don't know how or where to look for mistakes yet is foolhardy. I'm happy for them to throw in the towel if the field is truly not for them, but I would wager that a not-insignificant portion of that crowd would be able to meaningfully progress once they get past the immediate hurdles in front of them.
There is no reason to privilege compositionality/modularity vs emergence. One day we may have the emergence of compositionality in a large model. It would be a dead end if this was probably not possible
I am slowly coming 'round to the same conclusion: Word2Vec might be as fundamental as fire - all due caveats aside, of course ...
A trained image recognition model could probably recognize a dishwasher from an image.

But that won't be the same model that writes bad poetry or tries to autocomplete your next line of code. Or control the legs of a robot to move towards the dishwasher while holding a dirty plate. And each has a fair bit of manual tuning and preprocessing based on its function which may simply not be applicable to other areas even with scale. The best performing models aren't just taking in unstructured untyped data.

Even the most flexible models are only tackling a small slice of what "intelligence" is.
"Making fewer mistakes" implies that there's a framework within which the agent operates where its performance can be quickly judged as correct or incorrect. But, computers have already automated many tasks and roles in companies where this description applies; and competitive companies now remain capitalistically competitive not because they have stronger automation of boolean jobs, but because they're better configured to leverage human creativity in tasks and roles performance in which cannot be quickly judged as correct or incorrect.

Apple is the world's most valuable company, and many would attribute a strong part of their success to Jobs' legacy of high-quality decision-making. But anyone who has worked in a large company understands that there's no way Apple can so consistently produce their wide range of highly integrated, high quality products with only a top-down mandate from one person; especially a dead one. It takes thousands of people, the right people, given the right level of authority, making high-quality high-creativity decisions. It also, obviously, takes the daily process, an awe-inspiring global supply chain, automation systems, and these are areas that computers, and now AI, can have a high impact in. But that automation is a commodity now. Samsung has access to that same automation, and they make fridges and TVs; so why aren't they worth almost four trillion dollars?

AI doesn't replace humans; it, like computers more generally before it, brings the process cost of the inhuman things it can automate to zero. When that cost is zero, AI cannot be a differentiating factor between two businesses. The differentiating factors, instead, become the capital the businesses already have to deploy (favoring of established players), and the humans who interact with the AI, interpreting and when necessary executing on its decisions.
Correct, and the next frontier is combining the software with the hardware.
Human performance, broadly speaking, is the benchmark being targeted by those training AI models. Humans are part of the conversation since that's the only kind of intelligence these folks can conceive of.
(2014)

I remember seeing this when it was first making the rounds (though I thought it was earlier than ‘14, but that’s what all the press links date to). Incredible.
I like the analogy to pulling a muscle. You also got me reading about dream yoga, which I hadn't encountered before. Going to try that! I've done dream math and dream poetry/freestyle before, but I haven't tried dream meditating. Fascinating idea.

The "getting sucked into the sky" dreams are always incredibly exhilarating. Had some like that.

I had an extraordinarily rare moment a few years ago wherein I actually had one single 8-hour interrupted sleep session. For the entire 8 hours, I was sucked in a single, continuous lucid dream that took place over a full day of school. I was completely convinced that I'd died or was dying in my sleep and was experiencing an extended DMT-fueled hallucination.

I was literally running my hand across surfaces and studying reflections in the CRT monitors trying to find imperfections or proof that it was just a normal dream. But everything was hyperrealistic and vivid and continuous. The dream even started out with me waking up, getting ready, getting on the bus and arriving to school. Even the clocks were behaving.

During the dream, between classes, there was a hole in floor of the main hallway which just got bigger and bigger each time I saw it. And each time, there was a larger crowd of people surrounding it. Eventually, I saw someone jump in. Towards the end of the day, there was a full-blown hole cult worshiping and praying to the hole, wearing religious garb, making offerings, etc. It took a few weeks to recover from that dream.
People don't get confused because Star Trek is "magic nonsense", they get confused because "teleport" is a longstanding speculative fiction word that quantum scientists decided to co-op to describe something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike teleportation.

It's like if you called something "quantum resurrection" and then making fun of people for asking if it brings people back to life because that's obviously impossible, you buffoon, resurrection is actually when someone's already alive and you check and they're still alive, idiot, stop reading the Bible and start reading more Physical Review.
” And nothing will happen”

I myself would not call special forces boarding the ship ’nothing’. Let’s see what happens next.
The same can be true of magic.

Penn and Teller’s Fool Us had a couple of contestants per year that did a trick the hardest way possible. A couple times they gave the person the prize even though they knew how it was done. Like the people who “shuffled” an entire deck into a specific order, and/or used precise cuts rather than using marked cards or swapping the deck.

There have been a couple people they’ve had back three times even if they knew how they did it, because they’re just so good.
yeah that's my point
None and in most cases it’s not even clear it’s happening. Due to perspective, a plane far away and a drone up close could look very similar at night when all you can see are lights in a dark sky.
Somebody please read this! I thought it was some goofy JavaScript demo or something. It wasn’t until I clicked on the download link that I realized it was something else entirely. I was thinking “why does this ghost JavaScript demo thing have a download link?” and I expected it to go to some GitHub page or something

The homepage is cool but on mobile it isn’t at all obvious this is software, let alone a terminal emulator. If this HN post didn’t already have like 1000 votes I probably wouldn’t have even bothered with testing the link. I would have said “cool ghost” and moved on with my day.

That being said, I am looking forward to trying this as an iterm2 replacement. Iterm2 has been my default terminal on Mac since forever… it was probably the first hit for “putty for mac” or something, and I probably installed it and never even considered trying something else. It’s always “just worked”.
Didn't get a response (expected), but I would caution everyone to keep expectations low. Generating system diagrams from code is extremely difficult, if not impossible, even with AI [0].

We will add this to the table, is there a quick test to check if a terminal has RtL / bidirectional language support?

If there are any other features you look for in a terminal not on the comparison table please let us know!
